Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which side of a chemical equation is the reactant side?
A
Left (before the yields sign)
B
Right (after the yields sign)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical equations have reactants on the left, an arrow that is read as “yields", and the products on the right.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reactant: A substance that undergoes change in a chemical reaction and is written on the left side of the reaction arrow in a chemical equation.

Detailed explanation-3: -+ used to separate one reactant or product from another. used to separate the reactants from the products-it is pronounced “yields” or “produces” when the equation is read. used when the reaction can proceed in both directions-this is called an equilibrium arrow and will be used later in the course. (g)

Detailed explanation-4: -The position of the reactants and products of a chemical reaction relative to the chemical reaction arrow can be used to identify them: Reactants are always written on the left side of the arrow. Products are always written on the right side of the arrow.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a chemical reaction the reactants (what you start with) are converted into products (what you end with). The reactants, which are shown on the left hand side of an equation, and the products, which are shown of the right, are separated by an arrow.
